The Logitech MX Mechanical Wireless Keyboard is a game-changer for anyone who spends long hours typing. The tactile quiet switches strike the perfect balance between a satisfying keypress and minimal noise, making it ideal for both work and casual use. The illuminated keys are a standout feature, providing excellent visibility in low-light conditions without being too harsh on the eyes. The wireless functionality is seamless, with quick and reliable connectivity that enhances the overall user experience. Build quality is top-notch—the keyboard feels solid and well-made, and the slim design adds a modern, professional touch to any setup. Battery life is impressive, lasting for days on a single charge even with regular use. Whether you’re using it for programming, writing, or general productivity, this keyboard is a fantastic choice. I don’t know why I didn’t upgrade sooner because the strain on my wrists/forearms and fingers have subsided. I also purchased the MX Master 3s mouse which makes a great set. 2 people found this helpful

An excellent mechanical keyboard in terms of both noise and feel. I know some people won’t be a fan of the ‘squishier’ feel of the keys on this (think somewhere between an Mx cherry red meets a traditional membrane keyboard, but leaning on the cherry red side), but I’ve found the trade-off more than worth it. It’s comfortable to type on whilst keeping noise low, great for a work environment or library. The flatter profile of the keys also makes for an easy carry, and I actually prefer this layout over a raised profile as I find it easier to touch type. The other features such as multi device pairing, as well as integrated backlight really set this keyboard apart, and the aluminium material gives it a nice weight with a premium feel. Setup was super simple, just enter pairing mode and connect as you would expect. Battery life seems really good. Have had this on the go for a month ( at around 40 hours a week, backlight in minimum) and still have not had to recharge. My one minor nitpick would be that there are no included keycaps for non-mac nor traditional QWERTY UK layout ‘@’ Symbol etc so while the keys do function, the symbols may bother you. Overall very impressed. Not the cheapest, but the value I think is quite good just due to the features and battery life. Would highly recommend 4 people found this helpful

This is an excellent keyboard for everyday people just trying to do some work. I have originally used the MX Keys which honestly is also an excellent keyboard (if you’re deciding between either of them you can’t go wrong). I have never had a mechanical keyboard and I’m just a regular person. I’m not a gamer. I work from home some days and from the office other days and I primarily use word, excel and power point. I’m also not someone who is going to remove keys or switches. Online, there are a lot of complaints that you can’t change switches easily and that the space bar is not a standard size. Whilst it’s annoying the space bar is not standard (in case you wanted to change keys), the target market is not people who want to do those things. The keyboard has a good typing feel. It took me about 1.5 days to get used to the typing. I had a LOT of typos on the first day and I wondered why anyone would want a mechanical keyboard. It does feel great and springy though, so I get the appeal. I’m using this at home rather than the office, so the noise should not bother, although my husband has commented on how loud it is compared to the MX Keys. So keep this in mind. If you’ve never used mechanical before, despite these being “quiet tactile”, they are loud. I appreciate the following: – Good typing experience. I can type quickly on this. – Great lighting. This is better than the MX Keys because you can have different modes. My favourite is contrast which highlights some of the keys but not others. – Different angles are available on this. – Great short cut buttons. For example screen shot. These things are used on a regular basis. Personally I don’t use some like emojis or dictation but this may be different for others. One thing to keep in mind, as this is higher than a membrane keyboard may be, you do need some sort of wrist rest. And the one provided by Logitech for MX Keys will be too short for this. The Mini size is very good for those who don’t have to access the number pad on a regular basis. It is more wide than the MX Keys Mini but it does have extra buttons such as Page Down/Page Up etc. All in all this is a great product. Fast, easy to use, and no typos. Great for “regular” non mechanical keyboard people. If you’re into mechanical keyboards and love switching things around, then you’re already aware this product is not for you. If you want to try it out, or want something you obviously won’t tinker with, this is a great way to go. 4 people found this helpful

I was initially reluctant to splash out the £160 this keyboard costs but a friend swore blind by his and advised me to keep an eye out for a price reduction and then grab it then. It turns out this was a wise decision. Since purchasing this keyboard, i’ve followed up by purchasing the Logitech bluetooth mouse and speakers set as well. All three bits of equipment seem expensive compared to the cheap rubbish you can get, but here it turns out that paying that bit extra was more than worth it. It’s the keyboard I’m reviewing here, though, so a brief bit of context. I’m a developer and do a bit of writing on the side as well, so tend to spend a lot of time using a keyboard. I also work IT from home, so I’m used to using various keyboards from old, wired HP ones, and the cheaper, flimsy plastic logitech ones that share adapters with their cheap mice. I’ve never really thought much about getting something multi-purpose that I could use among all my devices until recently, but I’ve been a Mac user for years, so once I’d decided it was worth pursuing, I needed to get something that would work well on both my Mac mini and the work laptop. Since purchasing this device, i’ve also picked up a windows gaming laptop, so it became even more important. The first thing I considered is how the keyboard feels when typing. Even though this keyboard does have a numeric pad, the whole unit did feel like it was a bit smaller in width than the keyboards I’m normally used to, so it took a little adjustment before that became comfortable. I also had a small niggle with the space bar causing a rather noisy squeak in a quiet environment, which was unexpected. Rather than send it back, I decided to remove the space bar key (easy enough to do, if you’re not heavy-handed) and actually turned it around. That worked for a while, but then the sqeak returned. I then flipped it back to its original postion and got a little paint brush with some keyboard oil to lubricate the underside spring area just a little. That solved that issue, and is the only negative experience I had with the change. I’m a cack-handed, two finger typist mostly – apart from banging the space bar with the thumb of my left hand. I also tent to mistype a fair bit, so the back space key has to be instantly reachable with one of the fingers of my right hand, and accurate. Nothing worse than trying to delete a character and accidentally hitting insert, or another key in that general area. I’m comfortable doing reasonable typing speed on this new keyboard, although I have tended to find that sometimes I’m hitting function keys instead of numbers because obviously i’m watching the screen. This is almost certainly due to my stupid fingers rather than an issue with the keyboard. The keys themselves are touch lovely. Honestly, just the feel of them, and the firm way they move on the plate when depressed is great. It actually probably increases productivity because it feels so nice to type with it. I’ve often absently found myself stroking my hand across the keyboard just to feel the keys because they’re just that smooth. You’ll see what I mean if you try it. It’s probably important for me to say that I can’t emphasise how nice it is to work with a keyboard that feels this nice. Now this is an expensive keyboard because it’s mechanical, and has the lovely backlighting options and all that, but why does it cost so much? There are 3 programmable connection buttons, so you have the potential to use it with up to 3 devices, should you want to, all by just bluetooth connections. This makes the unit very portable if you want to use it in different areas around the house, just for starters. I’ve now got it setup to work for my Mac, work laptop and gaming laptop and switching between them is just a matter of pushing whichever connection button has been configured. Ironically it wasn’t something I really bought the unit for originally, it just turned out to be so handy that I’d probably have bought one much sooner, had I realised it could do this. The function keys are all cross purpose. Default mode has the function keys work for the usual media controls and screen brightness, keyboard colour settings and so on. Just hold down the function key and press escape once and then the function keys work as they would within any application or game you’re using. It’s that simple. So much easier than holding down func each time you want to use it’s alternate command for every keypress otherwise. This feature has probably been around on other keyboards prior to this, but i’ve never had one, or noticed it, so it’s worth a mention. There’s no messing about with batteries for power on this keyboard either. For all i know it might actually take batteries – I never thought to check – but it has a USB 2 port at the back right-side corner for charging. It holds charge very well, and the logitech software will advise you how much remains. For me, i just put in one of those little magnet adaptors into the back of it and got a magnet charging cable, so i could alternate the one charging lead between this, the mouse (which uses the old micro USB connector) and my phone/ipad. No more clumsy pushing connectors in and out all the time, and damaging the casing trying to ram them in. The numeric keyboard also has a few dual functions on some of the keys so now, on either the Mac or PC, I can just press the lock key in the top right of keyboard and then the escape key in the top left of the keyboard and it’s locked down with the screen blanked. It’s only a little convenience but I found that so much nicer than sleeping a computer with the mouse, or giving my fingers cramped trying to windows L on one hand. You have the usual stands you can pull out on the underside of the keyboard to raise the back height and also one of the keys actually pops up the calculator, and works for both machines. Again, probably always been a keyboard feature but I’ve found that so handy since I realised I could do it. Expensive keyboard but it turned out to be so worth the price, I think. 100% recommend. 22 people found this helpful

First of all, this is obviously an expensive keyboard. Compared to some mechanical options it’s not bad, but given you can get a basic keyboard for around £10, and even a range of wireless ones for under £35, £170 needs some justification. Overall, this is far better than a cheap basic keyboard. The wireless connectivity works well, and you can pair it with three computers or dongles, making it easy to use the keyboard on more than one computer if you want to. It’s definitely nowhere near silent to type on, but it’s not ‘clicky’ either—the sound is more of a pop for each keypress. The action is good, though, which does seem to help avoid typos (although this is obviously not perfect!) The backlight seems effective (although I’ve turned this off as I prefer an unlit keyboard—still, it’s good to know it’s there if I need it). It’s also quite heavy, which means that it stays in place well and doesn’t slide around the desk. Last but by no means least, the wider keys work very well. On cheap keyboards, pressing the edge of the right-hand shift key or the space bar can often stick as the key twists rather than presses straight down. There seem to be no such problems with this keyboard. Despite all those good points, though, the keycaps have two problems. Firstly, they quickly accumulate fingerprints, and due to the textured surface these are hard to remove. So the matt grey quickly acquires glossy patches. The bigger problem, though, is due to the cross-platform keyboard layout. Rather than pick either a Mac or PC layout, Logitech have created a keyboard with both layouts. As the user, you then have to remember which version you’re using. For the basic letters this is fine, but some keys have a number of symbols on them. You can see all of this in the official product photos, but two examples are attached. Firstly, rather than the shift key selecting the top or bottom symbol on a key, it selects the left or right (as shown on the square and curly brackets keys). That’s different, but not too bad. The key under the close-square-bracket key, though, is more complex. If you’re using a PC, this key with no shift will produce a #, and with shift gives a ~. The printing on the key, though, is the opposite way to the convention, with the shifted version of the key at the bottom. Then there’s the and | symbols on the key as well, which are produced when the keyboard is being used on a Mac. The quote/@ key is at least as confusing, as this has all three characters on the same line. It’s ‘unshifted on the left, shifted on the right, with shifted-Mac to the left of shifted-PC’. The ‘2’ key is the same, but in this case it then also includes a € symbol in a circle. On a Mac, you’ll get this by typing ‘option-2’. Basically, by trying to allow the keyboard to be used everywhere, Logitech have made some parts of it really quite confusing. It’s definitely not unusable, you ‘just’ have to remember where the keys are… Still, at least they didn’t leave them all blank, I guess. 6 people found this helpful

I use it with my iMac on Monterey. It says “Smart illumination: Backlit keys light up the moment your hands approach the cordless keyboard” – rubbish. Mine illuminates if you TOUCH the keyboard, either the case or press a key (unless it’s been a while and then ONLY if you press a key) which is annoying especially if you manage to press the wrong key at the wrong time which is easy to do given that it hasn’t lit up!, but okay I suppose. The really irritating bit is that despite the documentation telling you that – the backlight then stays on for 5 seconds – it doesn’t. You wake it up and on goes the backlight, great, you start typing, great, you pause for longer than 3/4 of a second and off goes the backlight meaning you then have to coax it back on before typing further. It may sound trivial but try it. In practice it means you are forever conscious of the fact that the light may go off any second, you are anxious to try and keep typing, your flow is gone and it makes typing a real chore. Otherwise it is great. My first one months ago went back as it wouldn’t type my password after a reboot, despite resetting it, which made it unusable, you needed another keyboard to get in first after a reboot then it was fine. This one now works properly so the first was duff. Maybe this one has a problem with the backlight but I will have to live with it, looking at other reviews online it seems like it is just the way it works and not a fault. In short it is a very expensive but very nice mechanical keyboard, it has the Mac keys as well as windows which I needed. But there are little things you need to know, there are a number of keys on the mac that you cannot use as triggers in ‘better touch tool’ or ‘keyboard maestro’ (keypad top row of four keys, INS, FN) which is annoying, you can assign them to things in logi options if you want but there are limitations, such a shame as having 6 more keys for my own macros would have been handy. And then of course there is the backlight, often more irritation than use. If those things don’t matter to you then don’t hesitate. 2 people found this helpful

The Logitech MX Mechanical Wireless Illuminated Performance Keyboard is a top-of-the-line keyboard that offers superior performance and a sleek, stylish design. This keyboard is designed to provide a comfortable typing experience, making it perfect for extended use. One of the standout features of this keyboard is its backlit keys, which provide illumination in low-light conditions. This makes it easy to use the keyboard in dimly lit environments, and the brightness of the backlighting can be adjusted to your preference. The keyboard also features mechanical switches that provide a tactile response with every key press. This provides a satisfying typing experience, and the keys are durable enough to withstand years of use. In addition, the Logitech MX Mechanical Wireless Illuminated Performance Keyboard is wireless, which allows for greater flexibility in how you use it. The keyboard connects to your computer using Logitech’s Unifying Receiver, which provides a reliable connection without the need for cables. Another great feature of this keyboard is its battery life – it’s amazing. I’ve been getting weeks (not the advertised days) of life from just a single charge. Even when using backlighting. However, one potential downside of this keyboard is its price. It is significantly more expensive than many other keyboards on the market, which may make it a less attractive option for budget-conscious consumers. You also cannot customise the keys which is a bummer. Overall, the Logitech MX Mechanical Wireless Illuminated Performance Keyboard is an excellent choice for anyone in need of a high-performance keyboard that provides a comfortable typing experience. While it may be more expensive than some other options, its backlit keys, mechanical switches, wireless connectivity, and long battery life make it a worthwhile investment for anyone in need of a high-quality keyboard. 6 people found this helpful
